The arrows in the chart above represent the movement of carbon between four reservoirs: the ocean, plants, fossil fuels, and the atmosphere. the numbers in the blue boxes show the gigatons of carbon moving each year. more carbon is moving into the vegetation for photosynthesis than is moving out to the atmosphere via respiration. this means that the vegetation reservoir is a carbon sink, taking in more carbon from the atmosphere than it is releasing to the atmosphere. a carbon source is the opposite. a reservoir that behaves as a carbon source releases more carbon to the atmosphere than it takes in.
consider the statements listed here. do they accurately describe potential changes in the model? choose all that are correct.

deforestation would result in a decrease in the carbon sink.
increased use of alternative energy sources such as solar and wind energy would result in a decrease in released or sourced carbon.
if we consider non-industrialized countries, the model would remain the same.
if global warming continues, we would expect a change in the amount of carbon found in the ocean reservoir.
combustion of fossil fuels acts as a carbon sink.
all carbon in the atmosphere is made by humans.
which ones is it?

Which of the following describes a negative feedback loop? when the heart rate is too high, the body sends hormones that continually increase the heart rate higher. when a pregnant woman is in labor, the body sends hormones that increase the intensity of contractions, which then increases the secretion of the same hormones. when blood sugar is too low, the body sends hormones that raise blood sugar until it reaches a typical level and hormone secretion slows. when a person is jogging, the body sends hormones that continually decrease the rate of oxygen supply to the legs.

The fish shown above is a tarpon. it is a fast-swimming and powerful open-water fish. its closest relatives, oddly, are burrow-dwelling conger eels that stay on the bottom. both eels and tarpon developed from snake-like larvae that float in the plankton during the first stages of life. once they mature, tarpon and eels are not found near one another in the ocean. the tarpon and the eel illustrate all of the following except
